BALLAD OF A RIGHTEOUS MERCHANT

Documentary | 2017 | Col | 1h 2m

Summary

This film is an intimate portrait of legendary visionary filmmaker, Werner Herzog, at work, filmed during the making of My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done (2009), shot by that film’s co-writer, a close friend (of 25 years) and long-time collaborator (on 10 films). Unlike other films about Herzog, where he faces the camera and expounds his views, this film provides a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the master at work, but also, because of the trust between Herzog and Golder, a deeply personal portrait of the man and candid view of him at his craft, while at the same time exploring some of the most abiding and deepest themes of his work.
